Minima Partners with OPP (Online Payments Platform) to Commoditize Private Charging Points Globally with $7.3 Billion EV Token.
A first-layer blockchain focused on Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) solutions, has partnered with Online Payments Platform (OPP), a leading global payment services provider, to transform the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging industry. The partnership aims to combine OPP’s comprehensive payment solutions with Minima’s fully decentralized and device-agnostic blockchain network, allowing EV drivers to rent out their private chargers to other members of the public. According to a recent report
Shell stated that “49% of people have not yet adopted an electric vehicle because they would like to see better charging point availability.” This solution from Minima aims to change this by decentralizing the management of EV charging services. Unlike the current centralized model that relies on specific service providers for access and payment management, this approach enables direct peer-to-peer interactions through the tokenization of energy.
Charging Point Operators (CPOs) and private wallbox owners will be able to accept tokens generated on the Minima blockchain. Tokens will represent kWh balances, access rights, or authentication details. This will enable a safer and more efficient ecosystem for EV charging, providing a new way to manage energy resources and facilitating access to a broad network.
